SPCE

Original trade:

#BullPutSpreads #Earnings – Selling slightly in the money. If I get lucky and the stock goes up it’ll be a nice winner. On the other hand, no matter how far it drops I’ll own stock about 1.70 below my basis which can be more than made up in one week of call selling with the extreme premium on this thing.

Sold SPCE FEB 28 2020 41.0/36.0 Bull Put Spreads @ 3.30

So…closing the long puts for the gains and letting the shorts get exercised. Non taxable account so selling the covered calls early using spreads. Yesterday bought puts to protect the position from anything crazy. Selling aggressively to reduce basis as quickly as possible during this high volatility.

Sold to Close SPCE FEB 28 2020 36.0 Puts @ 12.40
Sold SPCE MAR 6 2020 22.0/52.0 Bear Call Spreads @ 3.70

YELP “double calendar”

#Earnings #DoubleCalendar in quotes because I placed them near the expected moves rather than ATM. So maybe call it #EMDC. YELP tends to move, but rather not risk the $4+ to buy a Straddle.

Bought $YELP Feb14/Feb21 39 #CallCalendar for .17
Bought $YELP Feb14/Feb21 31 #PutCalendar for .133

You may be able to get these a bit cheaper. I bid below mid-price and was filled instantly on both.
